Alternating Reciprocal Figure 8 Walking

Top Pylon:

-Counterclockwise
-Right leg leads to find left AFIR
-Wide loop

**Transition Point: (neutral)

Hardest to transition counterclockwise

to clockwise without going into R AFIR
and left trunk rotation
Lower Pylon:

-Clockwise
-Left arm leads the way to facilitate
right trunk rotation keeping left
hip back.
-Narrow loop Keep aware of left peripheral
vision by looking left as the left
arm goes forward into right
trunk rotation
Start Here

The opposite pattern (i.e. starting with clockwise rotation) will be easier and more natural for the human pattern
due to the differences in the transition period

If Left AFIR needs are higher emphasize the counterclockwise direction, if right trunk rotation needs are higher
emphasize the clockwise direction
